Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Chicken broth (low sodium)
• 0.5 cup Fresh leek, finely chopped (white and light green parts only)
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. This usually means adding the wet ingredients first (chicken broth and melted butter), followed by the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, herbs, and pepper), and finally the yeast on top.

Step 2

Sprinkle the chopped leeks evenly over the dry ingredients in the bread pan.

Step 3

Select the 'Dough' cycle on your bread machine and start. The machine will mix, knead, and allow the dough to rise.

Step 4

Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a loaf or desired shape and place it in a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet.

Step 6

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or as a savory snack on its own.
